john huntsman had it right in the primaries when he said that mitt romney was like a well-oiled weather vane. this man seems to have no core convictions and consequently his campaign is flounderring flopping back and forth. even his supporters don't really know what he stands for because he doesn't stand for much except for tax cuts for really wealthy people. i think that's the core of his campaign and that's the problem. and that's why here in ohio he's not going over very well. this latest poll is an accurate reflection of what's going to happen in ohio come november 6th. no republican has won the presidency without winning ohio and mitt romney is not doing well in ohio right now. >> can you imagine presenting yourself as a candidate where you say i have a tax plan. i'm going to change your tax returns in very significant ways. however, i can not tell you about that. you're just going to have to vote for me and then you'll find out whether you still have a mortgage deduction, whether you can still deduct state and local taxes. you'll find all that out later after you elect me. i've ne
